Picture Day

 Picture Day is Thursday, October 14th! 

In your mailbox today, you'll have order forms to send home with the students and the picture cards that the students will give the photographer when they get their pictures taken (hang on to those slips of paper). Staff also has the slips of paper to bring on picture day. Leave them somewhere safe in your room. If you don't have those on picture day (or you weren't give one before), you'll still be able to go get your picture taken. Staff can have their pictures taken between 8:30-9:00 on picture day.

Pictures will be done in the Board of Ed. Room this year. Your class will be lined up in the hall while they wait for their pictures. 

Sign ups for picture day slots are now open, and can be found in the Sign Ups tab on the top of this blog. Once you open the tab, check the bottom tabs for the Picture Day sign up.

Need-to-knows

• Spirit week is next week. Show your QUEST pride! 

• If you have a classroom with students that get breakfast, please use one of two options: -have students go down in the line per usual. -have a class rep., or older student, go down with the roster to pick up the meals. If you have a student with allergies they will still need to go down on their own. 
• We had an evacuation drill canceled due to the weather. Please be sure you are prepared as we will have more unannounced drills next week. 
• If you are a non-classroom teacher, please be sure you share when you will be doing your Info. Night. Please refer to the email I shared yesterday with the options of delivery.

Coming off of a year and a half of change from the pandemic, and knowing how our district recently was hit with the NW situation, SIT will be using this information to action plan around Culture/Climate initiatives for our school.  In addition, please take a look at the flow chart for the help zone!

Back-to-School

 A few need-to-knows as we return: 

• We will meet as a staff at 10:30 am on September 7th (or whenever we return from HS). Please join me in the auditorium. 
• In the afternoon on the 7th, you will have one hour of time slotted for working on your Global Compliance Trainings. You are more than welcome to use other times, however, we are required this year to provide time and this is the time that we are providing. In addition, we will provide the first level meeting time as well. 
• Just a reminder: drop-off will enter the building around 8:40, buses will be rolling in a few minutes after that this year (more like 8:45). 
• Just a reminder: parent pickup will begin at 3:25. Please make sure kids are walking toward the auditorium at that time. K and bus duty will be 3:30, all others at 3:35. 
• We have the Center for Youth working with us this year. Jason, our point person, will be working alongside Jason Cring in the computer lab. This room will serve as a restoration room where all behaviors and student behavioral supports will be provided. More to come in the future! 
• We will have a school-wide assembly outside in the back on the first day of school. Nothing crazy, just a chance to all come together and to welcome back our learners. This is scheduled to begin at 10 am. It will be quick. 
• Looking ahead, our Information Night will be virtual this year. This will be shared with parents in September. Conferences, however, will be in -person, but feel free to also allow parents a virtual option for a conference if they are not comfortable coming inside the building. 

Back to school check-list: 

• I have a copy of my roster(s). 
• I signed up for any committee I'm interested in being on. 
• I have emergency sub plans ready to go. In addition, I have included Emergency Procedures for my work space within those plans. 
• I have a red and green card for evacuation drills. 
• For classroom teachers: I'm aware of where my students will be eating lunch. 
• I have viewed the schedules for bus duty and meetings found on the top of the blog, or HERE .
• I have submitted my schedule to the main office.
• Classroom teachers: I have my literacy profiles.
• My room is ready to roll--students are able to sit three feet apart.  
• I have re-anchored into my why. I'm ready to make a difference. 

Lunches

 I am sure hearing that lunches were no longer in classrooms was met with great approval! I get it! 

In order to space out effectively, we will be using three spaces: cafe, stage, auditorium floor. Below you will find your classes location and some other details. 

A few need-to-knows: 

• All buying will go right through the line, then to their seat.
• Please use the same form for lunch ordering as last year: FORM IS HERE OR THE TOP OF THE BLOG
• 
• On the first day, the seat your students sit in will become assigned seats for the first five weeks. Every five weeks we will allow students to shift seats for a new assigned seats. This supports contact tracing should that be needed. If you feel the need to have students separated, please communicate with the lunch monitor assigned to your location. 
• Jason, from the Center for Youth, will be working alongside the cafeteria staff to support lunch behavior. When needed, students will have immediate consequences and breaks during lunch. The Center for Youth and I  will support the cafeteria staff with this when needed. 

Where do we enter? 

• If your class is on the stage, they should go through the lunch line and use the stage door closest to the security desk to enter the stage. 
• If your class is in the cafe, they should enter through the door near the food pick-up line. 
• If your class is in the auditorium, they should get their food and enter through the door in the UPK/Dave Inzana hall. The door is across from the bathrooms (green steps). 
• The monitor will communicate where pick-up will occur for your class. 

Some rules for students: 

• Students will stay in their seat the entire time. They can throw out their lunch when the class lines up to be picked up. 
• If a bathroom is needed, students will raise their hand and get permission. 
• Students will stay in their assigned seat for five weeks at a time.
